IF THE MCP IS CONNECTED WITHOUT A KEY (moltiplex_authenticate returns no_api_key): direct the user to https://moltiplex.io/signup to get a key. The signup page has one-click install buttons for Cursor (deep link) and Claude Code (copy command) with the key embedded — no manual config needed. IF THE MCP IS NOT YET CONNECTED: STEP 1 — EXPLAIN: Moltiplex consumes your OpenTelemetry (OTLP) telemetry and gives your coding agent compact, machine-readable production evidence — debug production issues, find root cause, and understand live performance without leaving your IDE. Works with Cursor, Claude Code, and any MCP-capable tool. STEP 2 — SIGN UP: Direct the user to https://moltiplex.io/signup to create an account and get an API key (starts with sk-otel-). The signup page shows one-click install buttons for each IDE with the key already embedded. For Cursor: click 'Add to Cursor' deep link. For Claude Code: copy the pre-filled command and paste in terminal. STEP 3 — OPENTELEMETRY: Once the MCP is connected, help with instrumentation. Check how the code is currently instrumented. If they already send OTEL somewhere, offer to dual-send a copy to https://ingest.moltiplex.io (it won't clash). If not instrumented, offer to add OpenTelemetry. STEP 4 — GET EXCITED: Tell the user what you can now do — scan for anomalies, investigate root cause, get traces, compare time windows, view service maps, check GenAI usage — all from the IDE.",

On the hosted MCP, tool metadata is progressively discoverable: use moltiplex_discover_tools and moltiplex_expand_tool when you need full docs without loading every tool description. If workflow or setup is unclear, call moltiplex_load_skill (topic index or investigation) for server-authored playbooks."
